Panasonic Auto
determines the best aspect ra tio to use to
fi
ll your screen. It
does this using a four step process to determine if the picture being viewed is
a widescreen picture.
If
Panasonic Auto
detects a widescreen signal it switches into the ap pro pri ate
widescreen mode. If
Panasonic Auto
does not detect a widescreen signal then
this advanced TV set enhances the picture for optimum viewing pleasure.
The text shown on the screen indicates how
Panasonic Auto
de ter mined
which ratio to use:
Panasonic Auto
switches to the appropriate widescreen ratio.
If black stripes above and below the picture are detected, aspect ratio changes
automatically.
Panasonic Auto
chooses the best ratio and expands the picture to
fi
ll the
screen. This process can take several minutes, depending on the darkness
of the picture.
You may prefer to manually select one of the other aspect options available
to view the picture.
Notes:
• If, in Panasonic Auto mode, you experience problems with the screen display
size when playing back widescreen format recordings from your VCR then
it is possible that the tracking control of your VCR requires adjustment (your
VCR instruction book will contain adjustment details).
• The widescreen aspect ratios of different
fi
lms and programmes can vary.
If these are wider than a standard 16:9 aspect picture then a black band may
be visible at the top and bottom of the screen.
• “WIDE” will appear in the top left corner of the screen and picture aspect
changes accordingly in any aspect modes, if a widescreen identi
fi
cation signal
(WSS) is detected or a control signal is found through a Scart terminal.
• Automatic aspect ratio adjustment by WSS signal is not available for
progressive and high de
fi
nition component signals input.
The Widescreen TV will allow you to enjoy viewing the picture at its optimum size and aspect, including widescreen
cinema format pictures.
